Of course it does.
You have the choice to embed a subset of a font
that has the Japanese glyphs (for instance arialuni.ttf)
or to use one of the so called CJK fonts introduced
in PDF 1.2 (these are not embedded, but a font pack
is downloaded automatically).
Just read the tutorial:
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/fonts
or wait for the book on iText (available for preorder
@ amazon.co.jp) and read chapters 8 and 9
with a Japanese example showing how to write
text in vertical columns rendered from right to left
